Why work with us?

The business of creating a better urban experience is complex and requires patience, diligence, intelligence and a passion for making a difference to our experience of urban life.

We view each project as a complex puzzle that requires different perspectives and alternative angles to solve it. At Ethos Urban, no one individual ever has the answer. It's only when we bring people with different specialisations from different teams that we can see the full picture and then the way forward.

We continue to hire great people with a diversity of skills, experience and backgrounds. This includes people with disability, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people identifying as LGBTIQ+, culturally and linguistically diverse people, carers and other diversity groups.

We back our people: We are proponents of flexible work, providing generous leave provisions, paid parental leave, paid study leave, access to transitional coaching, industry memberships, learning and personal development initiatives, and career pathways.
